11. ONE DRIVE OR TWO?

If your new Seagate® drive will be the only drive in your com- puter, you do not have to change any jumper settings. In this case, skip ahead to “Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive.”

If you already have one hard drive in your computer and you are installing a second drive, you must configure one drive as a master and the other as a slave. The master drive will be the “boot” drive (drive C), from which the computer loads system software when it first starts up. The drive is configured at the factory for one drive only or master drive, with a jumper in- stalled on pins G and H (see below). To configure the drive as a slave, remove all the jumpers. The horizontal jumper on pins A and C is a spare and does not affect drive operation. If you need to change the jumpers on your existing hard drive, see the Disk Manager online manual, or contact the drive manufacturer.

2Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new drive. If you have two drives, attach the second drive to the second connector.

!Caution. Make sure to align pin 1 on the com- puter or host adapter interface connector with

pin 1 on your drive or drives. Pin 1 on the interface cable is usually indicated by a stripe along the edge of the cable.
